Solving the case: Combining the police dog's olfactory genes at the beginning

"Young Master, this time you must do exactly as I say, otherwise no one can save you."

Liu Shao Cong stared at Li Shang for a long time before finally collapsing onto the sofa in despair.

"What do you propose?"

A barely perceptible smile appeared on Li Shang's lips.

"Confess."

"What?! Are you crazy?"

"Hear me out."

Li Shang sat down opposite him.

“They will only admit to the first indecent assault case, claiming it was an impulsive act. I will arrange for the best lawyer to try and get a suspended sentence. As for the other cases, the police have no evidence, so they will ultimately have to let it go.”

A struggle flashed in Liu Shao Cong's eyes.

"What if they don't believe me?"

"So you need to put on a show."

Li Shang took a document out of his briefcase.

"This is a psychologist's diagnosis, proving that you have intermittent mood disorder. Coupled with the influence of the Wuzhou Group, the judge will take it into consideration."

Liu Shao Cong flipped through the documents, his expression gradually relaxing.

"You still have a way."

Li Shang smiled slightly.

"Young master, you flatter me. Now, please change into some simple clothes. We'll be going to the police station in an hour."

"So urgent?"

"The faster it is, the more sincere it seems."

Li Shang stood up.

"Remember, from now on, you are a repentant rich kid who made a mistake in a moment of foolishness and has now turned yourself in out of conscience."

The interrogation room was brightly lit, and Liu Shao Cong sat with his legs crossed, tapping his fingers rhythmically on the table, a nauseating fake smile on his face.

"Officer, I've said it eight hundred times already. I just touched that girl on impulse. Nothing else has to do with me."

He shrugged, but his gaze drifted toward the one-way mirror, as if he could see the police outside through it.

Wang Hong clenched his fists in the observation room, his knuckles turning white.

"That bastard is clearly the murderer of the gut-ripping case!"

Luo Fei stood to the side, his eyes slightly narrowed.

In his eyes, Liu Shao Cong was surrounded by a thick, almost tangible black mist, and a sin value of 1280 floated above his head like an invisible crown.

Behind those numbers are the cries of countless victims: prostitution, gambling, molestation, group sex, illegal imprisonment, hit-and-run, murder, and rape—every crime is clearly visible.

"Unfortunately, the court doesn't recognize my eyes."

Luo Fei said in a low voice.

The interrogation lasted three hours. Liu Shaocong only admitted to the molestation case that had already been dropped, and firmly denied the two cases of disembowelment.

Without direct evidence, the police had no choice but to release the person.

As Liu Shao Cong walked out of the interrogation room, he happened to brush past Luo Fei.

He suddenly stopped and looked Luo Fei up and down.

"You're the policeman who drew my portrait?"

Liu Shao Cong grinned, revealing his gleaming white teeth.

Luo Fei nodded calmly.

"it's me."

"I heard you're from Jiangcheng?"

Liu Shaocong took a step closer, his breath hitting Luo Fei's face, carrying a mixture of the smells of smoke, alcohol, and bad breath.

"People from small places don't know the rules."

Luo Fei's eyes turned cold.

"You're unlucky to have met me; your good days are over."

Liu Shao Cong was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, which echoed in the police station corridor.

"Hahaha! Just you?"

He patted Luo Fei on the shoulder with such force that it felt like he was about to shove him into the ground.

"I'll wait and see how you make me suffer!"

After saying that, he swaggered toward the police station entrance, whistling at the female officer along the way.

Through the glass window, everyone watched him get into a red Ferrari, and the engine roared away.

"Oh shit!"

Wang Hong slammed his fist against the wall.

"That beast! That girl clearly identified him, but now he's withdrawing the charges!"

How much money did Liu Shao Cong's family give him?

Huang Xiao bit his lip and asked.

"It's not about money."

Luo Fei stared at the taillights of the departing car.

"It's a threat. His father is a well-known entrepreneur in the city with a complex network of connections."

A sense of powerless anger permeated the police station.

Without evidence, even the most obvious murderer can escape justice.

Luo Fei suddenly turned around.

“I don’t believe he didn’t leave any trace. Huang Xiao, come with me to the scene.”

"Now?"

Huang Xiao asked in surprise.

"It's been more than two months since the first case!"

"It is precisely because they all believed that too much time had passed and no evidence could be found that they might have overlooked it."

Luo Fei strode towards the garage.

Huang Xiao jogged to catch up.

"Wait for me!"

Luo Fei explained in the car.

"Liu Shao Cong has a fresh wound on the inside of his right arm, as if he was cut by a sharp object. If it's something from the crime scene..."

"You even noticed the injury on his arm?"

Huang Xiao's eyes widened.

"He was wearing long sleeves in the interrogation room!"

Luo Fei didn't answer, he just focused on driving.

Huang Xiao wisely refrained from asking further questions.

The first crime scene was a small grove of trees on the outskirts of the city.

Two months have passed, and the area has long since returned to normal; even the police tape has been removed.

Luo Fei stood at the spot where the body had been found and closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, his pupils dilated slightly and his super sense of smell was activated, making countless odor molecules in the air as clearly discernible as ribbons.

The rotting leaves, the damp soil, the distant car exhaust, and the almost completely dissipated smell of rust.

"This way."

Luo Fei suddenly walked toward a locust tree and bent down to search like a hunting dog.

Huang Xiao followed.

"What did you find?"

Luo Fei did not answer immediately; his nose was almost touching the ground as he rummaged through a pile of dead leaves.

Suddenly, he stopped and picked up a thin twig from the fallen leaves.

"this."

He lifted up that seemingly ordinary tree branch.

"The tip shows signs of breakage."

Huang Xiao leaned closer to take a look.

"What does this mean?"

"There's blood on it."

Luo Fei said softly.

"It's faint, but it's definitely there."

"Wait, you said you smelled blood?"

Huang Xiao found it hard to believe.

"How much time has passed!"

Luo Fei glanced at her.

"Your shower gel is jasmine scented, and you also ate chive-filled buns this morning."

Huang Xiao's face flushed red.

"How could you..."

"Gifted."

Luo Fei briefly explained and carefully placed the branch into the evidence bag.

"Let's move on to the next scene."

The second crime scene was the back alley of an abandoned factory.

It's even dirtier and more chaotic here, with a mixture of smells from all kinds of garbage and excrement. An ordinary person would feel dizzy if they stood there for a while.

Luo Fei acted as if nothing had happened and walked straight to a corner.

His nose twitched slightly, and he suddenly squatted down, pulling a thorny branch from a pile of broken bricks.

"found it."

His voice held a rare excitement.

"The shape of this thorn matches the scar on Liu Shao Cong's arm."

Huang Xiao squatted down.

"I still can't see anything. Are you really sure?"

Luo Fei held the branch up to the sunlight.

"Look here, the tip of the thorn."

Although it was invisible to the naked eye, his super sense of smell detected the faint smell of blood.

"Take it back for DNA comparison."

On the way back to the police station, Huang Xiao couldn't help but ask, "Luo Fei, how did you do that? Normal people couldn't possibly smell those scents."

Luo Fei tightened his grip on the steering wheel.

"After a high fever when I was a child, my sense of smell became unusually sensitive. Being able to smell things that others can't is sometimes a curse."

"But it was a great help today."

Huang Xiao said sincerely.

At the police station, Wang Hong was sullen because Liu Shao Cong was still at large.

Seeing Luo Fei and Huang Xiao return, he barely managed to cheer himself up.

"What did you find?"

Luo Fei placed the two evidence bags on the table.

"The tree branch that may contain Liu Shaocong's DNA needs to be sent for testing immediately."

Wang Hong's eyes widened.

"Where did you find this? Wasn't the scene searched countless times?"

"The overlooked details."

Luo Fei said.

"Especially when everyone thinks that too much time has passed and no evidence can be found."

Xiao Zhang from the technical department took the evidence bag.

"If there is indeed DNA, the results should be available as early as tomorrow."

Wang Hong patted Luo Fei on the shoulder.

"You're really something, kid."

The news quickly spread throughout the police station.

As Luo Fei walked through the office area, his colleagues cast admiring glances at him, and some even gave him a thumbs up.

"It seems that the 'exchange student from Jiangcheng' is about to become famous."

Huang Xiao said with a smile.

The lab report was like a bomb, causing an uproar in the Criminal Investigation Team's office.

"DNA has been extracted from the end of the branch! Although we haven't been able to identify who it is yet, it's definitely a major breakthrough!"

Wang Hong excitedly slapped the table, almost knocking over the coffee.

He suddenly turned around, grabbed Luo Fei's shoulder, and almost kissed him.

Luo Fei turned away in disgust, but the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

"Captain Wang, restrain yourself. I don't want to be the subject of rumors."

"Restraint my ass!"

Wang Hong laughed heartily.

"If this DNA belongs to Liu Shao Cong, we can arrest him right away! We can convict him even without a confession!"

A round of applause erupted in the office, and the young detectives looked at Luo Fei with eyes full of admiration.

Huang Xiao stood to the side, staring at Luo Fei with a complicated look in his eyes, his heart beating faster involuntarily.

"Luo Fei, how exactly did you come up with the idea of ​​investigating that tree branch?"

she couldn't help but ask.

Luo Fei shrugged.

"intuition."

"Stop it!"

Wang Hong interrupted him.

"You must have discovered something, stop keeping me in suspense!"

Luo Fei smiled and said nothing more.

He couldn't very well tell Wang Hong that he smelled a peculiar perfume at the crime scene, and that the perfume happened to be the one Liu Shao Cong often used.

"The most crucial thing now is to get Liu Shaocong's DNA for comparison!"

Wang Hong lowered his voice and glanced at everyone in the office.

"Attention everyone, this must be kept secret! Liu Shao Cong may have a protector, and he might have informants within the police station!"

Everyone's expression tightened, and they all nodded.

Luo Fei narrowed his eyes.

“Captain Wang, Liu Shao Cong knows our investigation progress too well. Every time we make a move, he can anticipate it.”

"Damn it, someone must have tipped us off!"

Wang Hong cursed, then patted Luo Fei on the shoulder.

"Let's go, let's go straight to Wuzhou Group and find a way to get his DNA!"

Just as the two stepped out of the office, Luo Fei's phone suddenly rang.

Caller ID
"Lei Wanting".

Luo Fei frowned and pressed the answer button.

"Luo Fei! You little brat, you 'came back from the dead' and didn't even offer an apology?"

On the other end of the phone, Lei Wanting's voice carried a hint of anger.

Luo Fei was helpless.

"Director Lei, I've been busy investigating a case."

"Cut the nonsense!"

Lei Wanting snorted coldly.

"The Jiangcheng National Security Bureau has a troublesome case and specifically needs your help. Once you've finished it, get to headquarters immediately. Don't make me come and arrest you myself!"

"Okay, got it."

Luo Fei gave a perfunctory reply and hung up the phone.

Wang Hong's eyes widened.

"Lei Wanting? Director Lei of the National Security Department?!"

Luo Fei grunted in agreement and casually stuffed his phone back into his pocket.

Wang Hong was shocked.

"He called you personally? And you dare to refuse?!"

Luo Fei shrugged.

"I'm not going anywhere until the case is solved."

Wang Hong stared at Luo Fei for a few seconds, then suddenly laughed.

"Now I believe you. You became the vice captain because you definitely didn't get it through connections."

The glass curtain wall of the Wuzhou Group building reflects the glaring sunlight.

Wang Hong and Luo Fei strode into the lobby and headed straight for the front desk.

"Police, looking for Liu Shao Cong."

Wang Hongliang presented his credentials, his tone leaving no room for argument.

The receptionist's expression changed, and she was about to make a phone call to report the incident when the elevator doors opened with a "ding".

Liu Shao Cong walked out with a hot woman in his arms, looking sharp in a suit and with an arrogant smile.

Wang Hong's eyes turned cold, and he was about to step forward when Luo Fei took the lead and walked past him.

"Liu Shao Cong".

Luo Fei spoke calmly.

Liu Shao Cong glanced at him, a mocking smile playing on his lips.

"Hey, isn't this Officer Luo? What, are you wasting my time again?"

Luo Fei ignored his provocation, his gaze fixed on his head, and suddenly reached out.
"Shh!"

"what!"

Liu Shao Cong cried out in pain and staggered backward.

"what are you doing?!"

Luo Fei opened his palm, and a few strands of white hair lay quietly in his palm.

He smiled.

"Sorry, I have OCD. I feel like plucking any gray hairs I see."

Liu Shao Cong's face turned ashen, but with everyone watching, he couldn't afford to lash out, so he could only grit his teeth and curse.

"Neuropathy!"

After saying that, he put his arm around the beautiful woman and quickly left.

Wang Hong stared in disbelief until Liu Shao Cong had walked away, then he suddenly patted Luo Fei on the back.

"Awesome! That was an amazing move!"

Luo Fei tucked his hair back, his eyes cold and stern.

"Get it tested right away, don't waste time."

When Luo Fei handed the evidence bag to Duan Gang, his fingertips trembled slightly.

The hair in the evidence bag gleamed eerily black under the light, as if it held countless secrets.

"Old Duan, I really need to trouble you this time."

Wang Hong patted Duan Gang on the shoulder, his voice very low.

"The nature of the case is too heinous, and the suspect has a powerful background. If we drag this out any longer, things might get complicated."

Duan Gang pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, revealing bloodshot eyes behind the lenses.

He stared at the evidence bag for two seconds, then shook his head.

"It will take at least 48 hours. I don't have control over the equipment. Besides, Yuanyuan is having surgery tomorrow, and I have to go to the hospital."

Wang Hong and Luo Fei exchanged a glance.

Luo Fei noticed the wristband of the patient's gown peeking out from under Duan Gang's white coat, and his heart sank.

"Is 24 hours okay?"

Wang Hong suddenly said.

“I asked Lin Yan to go to the hospital to take care of Yuanyuan. She used to be a nurse and is more professional than a nursing assistant.”

Duan Gang suddenly looked up, his glasses sliding down to the tip of his nose.

"Are you kidding me? Yuanyuan is my daughter!"

"Precisely because it is Yuanyuan, you should trust Lin Yan even more."

Wang Hong took out his phone.

"Last year, Yuanyuan had a high fever that wouldn't go down. Who stayed up all night to use physical methods to lower her temperature?"

Luo Fei saw Duan Gang's fingers tighten on the evidence bag, his knuckles turning white. (End of Chapter)
